Otto Canon, the winner of the 2014 Gulder Ultimate Search Viewers’ Choice Awards who was kidnapped a while ago has finally regained his freedom.
His brother took to social media to announce his freedom.
It is unknown whether the ransom money was paid or not, but the brother was very pleased and relieved that Otto was released without a scratch.
He wrote on his page; “The past 7 days have been the toughest and scariest days for me & my family.
“My younger brother got kidnapped while travelling into Port Harcourt. He was driving on Emuoha road and suddenly a group of men ahead of him randomly opened fire on his car forcing him to stop and he was abducted and taken into the forest.
“Unfortunately, the news found its way on several media blogs even when we never wanted it to and the kidnappers loved the media buzz and doubled the ransom with more threats.
“But because we serve a Great God who governs, protects and oversees the earth because He answers us when we call on Him, my brother was released last night unhurt and without a scratch after 7 days.
“Thanks to everyone who had heard the news and reached out to us. Your support and show of love filled our hearts when they were empty and I can’t thank you all enough.
“Our prayers have been answered and God has done what He alone can do best. My younger brother @ottocanon is free and safe. And I pray the same for our country.”
